The Importance of Environmental Management:
Environmental management projects and related engineering processes attempt to control the human impact on the environment. The assessment and management of these activities are important in order to preserve natural resources to the benefit of the 10% environment and societies for present and future generations.
AGES provides services to all projects mentioned.
